9/13/12, "Kuwaitis stage anti-US demo, wave Qaeda flag," AFP
"About 500 demonstrators gathered Thursday near the US embassy in
Kuwait waving a black Al-Qaeda flag in protest at a film mocking Islam.
President Barack "Obama, we are all Osama," they chanted referring to
Al-Qaeda's former leader Osama bin Laden who was killed by US forces
last year, an AFP photographer at the site of the demonstration
reported.
The protesters gathered around 500 metres (yards) away from the US
embassy after police forces, heavily deployed in the area, stopped them
from reaching the mission.
The demonstrators were joined by five Islamist lawmakers as they called for expelling the US ambassador in the Gulf country.
"The people want to expel the ambassador," they chanted, as one of their banners read: "USA... respect us."
Protests have erupted since Tuesday outside US diplomatic missions in
several Arab and Muslim states against a low-budget movie "Innocence of
Muslims" made in the United States and deemed offensive to Islam.
The US ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and three other Americans
were killed when heavily-armed extremists launched a sustained four-hour
attack on the US consulate in Benghazi late Tuesday.
In the Yemeni capital, police on Thursday shot dead four protesters
and wounded 34 others when they opened fire on a crowd attempting to
storm the US embassy.
In the Egyptian capital Cairo, police fired tear gas to disperse the
latest protest outside the embassy by stone- and bottle-throwing
demonstrators. More than 200 people were injured, the health ministry
said." via Atlas Shrugs
